uses your response to that? the unions have a lot of boots on the ground, your members hear that you have to buck up. how are they going to respond? >> i think our members are saying that working people are facing the biggest crisis in our generation and we want to stand up, speak out and we want to vote in numbers like never before, because we need to get back to work. we need to fix our broken immigration system and we need corporations to share in the responsibility of getting this economy going again. >> you're not offended by any way this tough talk by the vice president and the president for that matter? >> i don't take offense to it, because my real offense is with corporate america. we have members that have been laid off in l.a. earning 13.50 an hour, employed by jpmorgan chase, who you and i bailed out 18 months ago and are now married report profits, and jpmorgan has made a decision to lay off 16 janitors in the height of their biggest profitability? that's what i take offense to. >> what does the mar

guys, thank you for joining us. doesn't the white house actually want the vote at the moment so they can tout it as a win going into midterms? >> i think they want this vote and there are members of the senate and house who wanted this vote. ultimately leadership decided it didn't make sense for them which is a shame because most americans can agree that at a time of incredible deficits now is not the time to be giving an additional tax break to the richest americans. so, while i don't think this was the most politically savvy move for democrats, i think this would have been a good thing for them going into midterms to force a vote on this. i do think there is a silver lining which is when we come back from midterms, i think you're more likely to get some republican support for this. >> john, who would stand to gain by delaying this, by putting this off? >> it's a very good question, richard. i think if you look at the democrats, you could charge them with legislative malpractice. they didn't do a budget at the begi
